2024 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly, Domaine Hubert Lamy
Burgundy, France
White Rock Energy
Initially restrained, this opens gradually to reveal lime zest, lemon blossom, crisp pear and white peach, layered with crushed oyster shell, gunflint and cool white stone. Everything feels finely drawn and precise, with the fruit emerging slowly rather than announcing itself all at once.
The palate is taut, concentrated and beautifully controlled. Citrus and orchard fruit build through the centre, supported by vivid acidity, a fine creamy texture and a powerful limestone backbone. The finish is long, mouth-watering and intensely mineral, leaving traces of lemon oil, chalk and struck flint. Serious white Burgundy with the depth to age, but an irresistible current of freshness running throughout.
For when: The bottle needs to be every bit as precise as the cooking.
Pairs with: Seared scallops, grilled lobster, turbot with beurre blanc, roast guinea fowl, asparagus risotto or aged Comté.
En Remilly is one of Saint-Aubin’s most celebrated Premier Cru vineyards, occupying a steep, south-facing slope immediately above Le Montrachet and beside Chevalier-Montrachet. Domaine Hubert Lamy’s 2.02-hectare parcel was largely planted in 1989 and lies on shallow, hard limestone soils. The site combines generous sunlight with a cool, elevated position, producing Chardonnay with both concentration and extraordinary mineral tension. In Olivier Lamy’s hands, it regularly approaches the precision and complexity of neighbouring Premier Cru Puligny-Montrachet.
About the 2024 Vintage in Burgundy
The 2024 growing season was one of Burgundy’s most demanding in recent years. Rain, frost, hail and intense mildew pressure greatly reduced the crop, requiring relentless vineyard work and rigorous selection at harvest. Warmer, drier conditions during August and September finally allowed the remaining grapes to ripen slowly and evenly.
Quantities are extremely limited, but the best white wines are beautifully balanced and refined. Lower alcohol, bright acidity and pure citrus fruit give the vintage a cool, classical character. On the limestone slopes of Saint-Aubin, Chardonnay developed exceptional clarity, energy and mineral definition.
